NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS<br />

2 Financial risk management (Continued)<br />

(a)<br />

Financial risk factors (Continued)<br />

(iv) Foreign currency risk (Continued)<br />

For companies with HK$ as their functional currency<br />

At 31 December <strong>2011</strong>, if RMB had weakened/strengthened by 5% against HK$ with<br />

all other variables held constant, pre-tax loss for those companies for the year would<br />

have been HK$11,000 lower/higher (2010: HK$491,000 lower/higher on pre-tax loss),<br />

mainly as a result of foreign exchange gains/losses on translation of RMB denominated<br />

cash and bank balances, trade and other receivables, and trade and other payables.<br />

Loss in <strong>2011</strong> is less sensitive to movement in currency exchange rate than that in 2010<br />

because the amount of RMB denominated trade and other payables held by operating<br />

companies in Hong Kong had decreased.<br />

For companies with RMB as their functional currency<br />

At 31 December <strong>2011</strong>, if HK$/US$ had weakened/strengthened by 5% against RMB<br />

with all other variables held constant, pre-tax loss for those companies for the year<br />

would have been HK$1,388,000 higher/lower (2010: HK$1,638,000 higher/lower on<br />

pre-tax loss), mainly as a result of foreign exchange losses/gains on translation of HK$/<br />

US$ denominated cash and bank balances, trade and other receivables, and trade<br />

and other payables. Loss in <strong>2011</strong> is less sensitive to movement in currency exchange<br />

rate than that in 2010 because the amount of HK$/US$ denominated trade and other<br />

receivables and cash and bank balances held by operating companies in the PRC had<br />

decreased.<br />

For companies with NT$ as their functional currency<br />

At 31 December <strong>2011</strong>, if HK$/US$ had weakened/strengthened by 5% against NT$<br />

with all other variables held constant, pre-tax profit for those companies for the<br />

year would have been HK$32,000 lower/higher (2010: HK$17,000 lower/higher on<br />

pre-tax profit), mainly as a result of foreign exchange losses/gains on translation of<br />

HK$/US$ denominated cash and bank balances. Profit in <strong>2011</strong> is more sensitive to<br />

movement in currency exchange rate than that in 2010 because the amount of HK$/<br />

US$ denominated cash and bank balances held by operating companies in Taiwan had<br />

increased.<br />
